History: Jonathan grew up with only one parent, his father Keith. He couldn't ask for anything more than his dad. Keith was a guard in the NCR, and was pretty good at it too. Jonathan looked up to his dad but sadly his dad had imprisoned one of the New Reno mob family's don. None of the guards there would take bribes so he had to wait for his mob family. One day, criminals burst into the jailhouse and killed almost all the guards stationed inside. They broke out their leader and left. Keith was still alive after the shootout but badly injured. They took him to the town doctor; they saved him but he would never be the same again. After recovering Keith quit and returned to Jonathan. He started teaching him how to operate and handle firearms just in case he would ever need them.
Throughout the years Jonathan began spiraling into a depression. His father spent his days laying on a mattress and life was getting worse by the second. Jonathan couldn't keep any job anyone gave him because he just didn't want to work at any of those jobs, none of them offered enough money for him and Keith. Jonathan then began scavenging part time to try to get extra cash. He found an assortment of weapons over the months he was scavenging and began collecting any weapons to sell later. One day upon returning home he saw the door to his shack open. He ran in and found his father with a bullet hole in his head and a Noe that read, "Love, Bishop." Jonathan was outraged but knew he couldn't do anything about it now, he was alone. Eventually heard rumors about these mercenaries that called themselves the Specters and decided to go out and look for them, maybe they would find bishop.
Quirks: Plays with his lighter or puts unlit cigarettes in his mouth whenever he's bored,
How you joined the Spectres: After days of wandering the wasteland and asking if anyone knew who the Specters were, he finally found someone who knew where they were. They were a few miles east at camp. If he went there fast enough he could find them. When he got there there was no one. He wandered into the camp grounds and some raiders ambushed him, it was a trap. He fought off as best he could but just as he was about to get killed the real Specters came and wiped out the rest of the raiders. They were never going to pass by there but something inside the leader told him to head that way. Jonathan quickly persuaded them to let him join.
Sorry for such a long history and how I joined. I was going to write more but I forced myself to write less. I'll tone it down if you want.
